What are the differences between the way Americans educate their children and China?
I. Early childhood education
China people: Use love for unprincipled excessive praise.
Americans: exaggerating and encouraging the use of love within a reasonable range.
Main performance:
Many people in China have raised "Xiong Haizi" and are proud of it.
China's parents like to use a word "little adults", which refers to those children who are still very young but have ridiculously high emotional intelligence. These children know the way of the world of China people when they speak and do things, and what they say is routine. Parents like to praise smart children as "little adults", which is what I call exaggeration. This kind of intelligence, which is not even wisdom, is often obtained by children at home. Childlike heart has not been well developed, but the scheming was excavated at a very young age. There are many such cases. For example, when you walk into a desk and chair, parents will pat the desk and chair that has been hit by a child and say: Bad table, bad chair, grandma will help you hit him. For another example, when relatives go home for the New Year, children take out their laptops or mobile phones to play without knowing their relatives. Many parents will not criticize their children seriously, but will play down the matter jokingly: alas, children are not sensible. Even add: I can type on my mobile phone at such a young age.
The best way to cultivate American self-confidence is to learn to experience failure.
American parents are interesting. First of all, children will not be sent to cram schools for early education intelligence. Secondly, children will be encouraged in an exaggerated way. It is often seen in American movies that children draw a picture that looks abstract and ordinary in the eyes of adults, but American parents always express their love for painting incisively and vividly. The language (words), tone and intonation used by these adults, and even their exaggerated eyebrows and forehead lines are so full. These details give the children a shocking affirmation! What American parents will let their children experience at the same time is frustration. They will encourage their children to participate in competitive competitions, especially team competitions. As we all know, victory or defeat is a common occurrence in military strategists, so failure is a taste that American children have experienced since childhood. The above two types of cases instill confidence in children at an early stage and help to expand their passion.
Two. Nine-year compulsory education
China: Students are told to do things.
Americans: Students are motivated to create and do things.
Main performance:
Nine-year compulsory education in China has subtly adapted generation after generation to the passive relationship. Entering the teacher's office, the teacher is sitting and the students are standing; This diary should be submitted to the teacher for review. China is a prosperous time for a hundred schools of thought to contend. Now the network platform also gives young people a chance to speak. The nine-year compulsory education in China is basically exam-oriented training, and students are not given a chance to contend during school. Of course, some people choose not to study hard and go out to be gangsters. Some people mixed up, but more people finally mixed up, either because they were too arrogant or because they were too grumpy.
How many of us were inspired and made a passionate speech?
Although the American education system also has its own shortcomings, in the final analysis, the American education system is not for examination and training, but for education. At least in this culture: achievement is not the only criterion to measure students. Students' homework is all kinds of unconstrained style, which requires as much time and energy as China students. Students' specialties will be recognized by the school, and reasonable publicity of personality is a very important part of the whole American culture. China's parents have always said that China children are better than their American peers in math and physics.
Three. competitive sports
China people: physical education class who belongs to the class teacher?
American: No matter how small the school is, it must have its own team.
Main performance:
Schools in China don't encourage competitive sports, and parents don't encourage competitive sports for fear of injury and delay in study. There is a basketball court in the school, but it is common that students are not allowed to play. I can finally play ball, and the time is occupied by the class teacher. The students didn't make any noise or protest.
The reason why American sports culture is so strong is not only because this country has a huge sports industry chain. It is because people in this country realize that exercise can not only keep people healthy, but also make people behave better. There are countless classic scenes of sports movies in the history of American movies. These classic bridges are not to capture the heroism of athletes at a certain moment, but those dialogues and inspirational lines about human nature, teamwork and turning defeat into victory.
The following is an extended reading: Apart from the United States, what is the difference between education in China and other countries?
Foreign methods of educating children: Japan
In Japan, parents feel that only by letting their children wear less can they enhance their ability to regulate skin temperature, thus achieving their ability to keep out the cold and improve their resistance. In China, parents don't pay much attention to their children's exercise. In the concept of most parents, as long as they take good care of their children and let them eat and wear warm clothes, it will do. This also makes children's hospitals always overcrowded. In fact, the child's weakness is caused by the parents' "light exercise". In Japan, parents pay special attention to their children's physical exercise, so the chances of Japanese children getting sick are very small.
Foreign methods of educating children: South Korea
In Korea, parents let their children sleep alone. In order to cultivate children's sense of independence, they let them sleep alone. At the beginning, if children are upset, they will comfort them and tell them that they have grown up and can sleep by themselves, and let them sleep by themselves with toys. In China, parents don't trust their children to sleep by themselves, for fear that something will happen to them or they will catch cold by pushing the quilt at night. In fact, from the health point of view, it is the most scientific to let children sleep alone, because if parents sleep with their children, the exhaled polluted air will make children inhale, which will have a negative impact on their health.
The method of educating children abroad: France
In France, parents will give their children a relaxed environment and free time. They think that arranging a series of make-up lessons and studies for children will make them lose the fun of life and only experience the pressure of learning, which will have a great impact on their physical and mental health. Therefore, in France, there are many places for children's entertainment, such as roller skating rinks, bicycle driving ranges, swings, seesaws and so on. Through it, children can experience the joy of life, and they can exercise well and enhance their resistance.
In China, what parents attach most importance to their children is learning. Therefore, children in China are under great pressure to study, because as long as their test scores are not good, they will be blamed by their parents. In this respect, many children are thin, not because of lack of nutrition, but because of lack of exercise. There is no denying the fact that children in China are worse than children abroad in self-care and independence. Therefore, in educating children, parents can learn from foreign methods of educating children and improve their comprehensive ability in all aspects.
